THE PREMIER TREK VACATION FEATURING TREK ACTORS & GUESTS!
Hello!                                                                                   October 5, 2008
     Here is a quickie CT Update.
     Just thought I would let you all know that we have received our Blue Danube Adventure tickets from AMA Waterways. And we are diligently working hard on getting them out to you all this week.  So, please be on the look out for a large USPS Priority Mail box.  The shirts turned out just wonderfully.  I won't tell you exactly what they are as I wish them to be a surprise! :-)  And the cruise line information provided by the cruise is the most comprehensive I have ever seen... very cool!!
   And as for Bermuda next year we have arranged an Amtrak Fare Code of X18U-945.  This will give you a 10% discount.  So, if you want to travel by train to NYC as I will -- Please call Amtrak directly at 800-872-7245 and work with them (or your TA) directly.  After our cruise this year I will advise you more as to the train schedule that I will have. However, I am thinking of traveling by way of Chicago on the outbound and on the return through New Orleans and the Southwest.
     Again we are excited that so far Dominic Keating is go for 2009!!  
     We are working on hotels in NYC.  We are looking to find something in the vicinity of Time Square.  We are also working on tickets for the new ST movie due out May 8, 2009 -- hey how about a family outing to see it?!
     For the Bermuda cruise -- if you have not booked yet I would advise doing so asap as we may be able to get some extra "goodies" for you!
Safe Travels! & See you!
Charlie
PS I just found out that AOL will not be hosting web sites after this month -- ugh!  One more thing to do!

Hey there                                                                                September 18, 2008
     I did already post some of the below to the Cruise trek Yahoo group – but, I thought it a good idea say some again here and give you a little more information as well.
    The Las Vegas Creation Convention back in August was just very enjoyable. We were able to visit with some of our CT Friends & Family like Leslie & Gary Bale, Lolita Fatjo, Trenton & Louise McConkey (they booked Bermuda - yeah!), Chuck & Cynthia from Prescott and quite a few more.  Then we had dinner with Patricia Flood, Carolyn Peters and Chuck & Beth Riley.  I conversed with the latter so much that it was really nice getting to know them even better. And again my sincere thanks to those mentioned above that relieved us from our table duties from time to time.
     Excitedly, I was also able to play a little poker -- well on second thought maybe that was not so exciting. Gosh it seems the more books I read on the subject the worse player I become... go figure...  
     But then I was able to meet both Dominic Keating and Connor Trinneer in Vegas.  They are both great guys.  Just to let you know -- Dominic is definitely planning on attending the Bermuda cruise next year. He is surely one that loves the water/sea -- and then he says "to combine the cruise to Bermuda with NYC would be a great adventure..."
     As I mentioned before I was thinking of going by train to NYC for the Bermuda cruise next year on Amtrak – “The Trekkie Express”
    OK -- then after Las Vegas for a week I had a special house guest to California. It was so much fun to have long time CT family member and staffer Dr. Bonnie Roach from Ohio here for the first time. It was just wonderful to see her simply stare at the Beautiful Pacific and the numerous kite surfers at Leo Carrillo State Beach... picture a little kid in the ocean for the first time just kicking & grinning around in the water... precious!
     Oh yes -- She was lucky to catch one of the best summers we have had in a long time!  Then the next day she was able to go swimming -- that was a sight -- especially when the poor girl got knocked over by a wave!!  Well as she laughingly tells the story -- sand got absolutely "everywhere" -- Bonnie please don't kill me for telling these parts of the story to the whole world!!!    And then to the better part of the day -- when she got back home here and flooded the entire garage with the beach shower therein -- I could only laugh -- she is just wonderfully engaging, entertaining and a great house guest!  Did I mention brilliant too?!  OK OK maybe you had to be there..................................
     She even saw loads of dolphin playing in the surf that day as well.  And they certainly do put on a show!  We get to see them do aerial acrobatics and surf the waves -- which is just a beautiful site in and of itself.
     Thinking about her visit again... well the Tahiti scooter episode still ranks pretty high....    sorry B!!!!!!
     Now to the subject of the Blue Danube trip coming up this year -- Good news!!  For us on this side of the world, if you have not noticed already -- The US dollar is about 10% stronger and will hopefully gain even more before our Blue Danube trip this year!
     Phew -- I am working late tonight on our "Blue Danube" event -- Wow -- I kept saying how relaxed and how wonderful this trip will be -- and now that the schedule is coming together it is so cool!  Although I think I am getting overwhelmed with all that there is to do & see.  And I have done it before and I can't wait to do it again!
     Anyway -- that's it for my late night ramblings for now -- see you guys!!
 Hey there                                              August 14, 2008  UPDATE
        Please keep in mind for next year the thought of joining us on a picturesque TrainTrek across the states to Penn Station in New York City -- the embarkation port for next years Bermuda cruise.  We thought it would be quite cool for some of us to gather and/or join on a train ride to further the adventure and fun!  More like a "Trekkie Express"--the idea--stopping along the chosen route and having folks join the comradery from their respective home states or cities...I will work with Amtrak to arrange this for all.  That along with the wonderful scenery -- I am looking forward to it!  Oh and to add more to the thought of a train ride -- the train fares are pretty reasonable...
More info to follow....  Have a great week!
Dear Cruise Trekker,                                             June 19, 2008
    … and so now we excitedly announce to everyone else (& more info as well) our “Back to Bermuda” for Cruise Trek 2009.   Last time we made this wonderful journey was way back in 1995. Only next year we are sailing on the Norwegian Dawn from New York City!  A Cruise Trek first.  So, how about a pre or post addition to the Big Apple??  I for one am excited to be able to do that… after all a bunch of my relatives live there.  And, being able to take in Broadway shows, visit the Metropolitan Museum and more all make our point of embarkation and disembarkation very enticing as well.  Have you ever sailed from or into New York harbor?  It is a site to behold in of itself.  So, Please check our itinerary and Booking Information Sheet.  We will advise at a later date as to hotels for pre & post stays.  Plus, if some of you would like to tour the Statue of Liberty,  see a show or a museum together we’ll informally put together the time and place for same.  Of course, as you know you can easily organize this on your own if you so choose.  As to Bermuda… let’s do a beach party by day and have great ship & CT activities by night!  How about Karaoke and a PJ party… remember our Hawaii trip where we did both in the same evening??? The reaction of others seeing us carry our Teddy and wearing PJ's was incredible fun! Also, back in 1995 what I remember as being so much fun was the Pub Crawl we did in town where many of the local townspeople joined us in full ST costume.  The Bermuda trip was the most fun I ever had and expect it to be very much the same; especially since long time past passengers Wayne & Rita Applegate are going to renew their vows as a celebration of their 30th wedding anniversary on board.  Hope you can join in our family fun party!
     At this point we have been working diligently in preparation for our Danube River cruise this fall.   Ethan Phillips (Neelix) and Rene Auberjonois (Odo) are eagerly looking forward to this year’s great river adventure.  ST writer Eric Stillwell, script coordinator Lolita Fatjo and Trek expert Richard Arnold are all sailing with us as well.  Of course this “small ship” experience is going to be completely different than one of our larger ship events… very intimate local tours and entertainers are included this time.  Imagine starting your pre cruise voyage in historic Prague. Celebrate the beauty and history of the Danube, Europe’s second largest river. Cruise from Nuremburg across the Continental Divide and along the way visit charming towns and marvel at the beauty of the vistas.  Enter Austria and cruise through the lush Wachau wine region. Then finish your adventure in two truly grand capitals - that of Vienna & Budapest.  What a different world than we have ever visited before.
     As always, if you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact us.  
To boldly go – Travel; it expands like nothing else… Wishing you the smooth sailing always, Charlie
